What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford E-250?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

When should I have my Ford E-250 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your E-250’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why does my Ford E-250 bounce so much?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your E-250 to bounce more than usual.

What can cause the front end of my E-250 to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

What do worn Ford E-250 shocks feel like?

Worn E-250 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Is It Time For 2011 Ford E-250 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Ford E-250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-250 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Ford E-250, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your E-250 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ford E-250’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford E-250

Your 2011 Ford E-250’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Ford E-250 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford E-250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your E-250’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
